Answer 1

Finally it worked ! I replaced tiles2 by tiles3 as correctly pointed out by mck and added following line to tiles-definitions.xml

<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
  "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 3.0//EN" 
  "http://tiles.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_3_0.dtd">

Answer 2

In your servlet-context.xml you are using the tiles2 spring-tiles integration classes.

Use instead the classes found under org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3

Answer 3

Using:

import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesView;

Not:

import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesView;

Answer 4

use this code if your are using version 3 . based on the version your are using should configure the tiles.
<bean id="viewResolver"
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
        <property name="viewClass">
            <value>
                org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesView
            </value>
        </property>
    </bean>
    <bean id="tilesConfigurer"
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesConfigurer">
        <property name="definitions">
            <list>
                <value>/WEB-INF/estudo-tiles-servlet.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
